Malicious Gossip for Tuesday, April 6, 2010!

The buzz on the set of DANCING WITH THE STARS is Kate Gosselin is “trying to heat things up” with Bachelor Jake Pavelka, who is ENGAGED. And Kate is NOT hiding her crush. The source says, “Kate’s got a big ego & doesn’t care who knows about it.” She is “unfazed” by the fact that Jake is taken.

(I don’t know…they’d make a good reality show…”Jake and Kate Plus Eight!”)

Apparently, Cher is not all that nice, says rock guitarist, Slash. He tells the Post that she is obnoxious. Slash says his mother had a store Cher used to frequent. He says she would come into the shop, be demanding, rude and spew lots of attitude,

(Geez, he’s awfully whiney for a guy named “Slash.”)

And finally, we told you Lady Gaga is the first choice to record the theme song for the new James Bond movie, but also hear that Elton John wants to be her duet partner. No word on whether that will happen or not.

(Can you imagine Elton and Gaga sharing the same dressing room…Talk about the feathers flying, literally.)
